But lack (缺

Nicola Blackwood, an official of Oxfordshire, recently brought transport minister Stephen Hammond to the county and said

As a result, he has promised that he will aim to look at entire r oads, rather than individual projects such as improving junctio ns (交叉路口).
Ms Blackwood said: “If we are able to achieve anything like o ur economic growth, we need to solve the problems that not o nly affect the new companies but also the growth of existing lo cal businesses. What I want to see most of all is the quick pro duction of a plan to solve the problem of the A34.”
John Cardy, co-
founder of Garden Games, said he had considered moving hi s business from a farm in Garford to Witney but traffic fears h ad made him reconsider. He added: “Most of our employees were not prepared to use the A40 which is always crowded.”
